A block of mass $2 \,kg$ rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of $30°$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $ 0.7$. The frictional force on the block is ....... $N$.

A block of mass $5\,kg$ and surface area $2\,m ^2$ just begins to slide down an inclined plane when the angle of inclination is $30^{\circ}$. Keeping mass same, the surface area of the block is doubled. The angle at which this starts sliding down is :

A uniform rope of length l lies on a table. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu $, then the maximum length ${l_1}$ of the part of this rope which can overhang from the edge of the table without sliding down is

$Assertion$ : On a rainy day it is difficult to drive a car or bus at high speed.
$Reason$ : The value of coefficient of friction is lowered due to wetting of the surface
